This morning something told me to go to Luke 21:1-4 I read about the rich men who give gifts in their abundance the treasury and how the poor widow gave two mites (assuming 2 dollars equivalent) and Jesus noticed her and said she gave more than them all.
I started to really think about that with the word abundance being the key word that stuck out to me. I knew it was God speaking to my heart. I hadn't been offering tithe in awhile and even when I do it's in abundance never my last few dollars or rarely at all. But I also thought about how I don't really give to the homelss and have a tight grip on my money.
Long story short, I was grieve and convicted by how much I truly don't live out his word simply by my actions.
I desire prayer more than money right now but I know I hadn't lived right before God. Please pray for me that I will love God better. Thanks
As I was reading your comment I was thinking, Isn’t it amazing that even when we don’t feel like we are loving God well, He still loves us with such intensity. So much so that that He would still speak to you through His Spirit that lives in you to move you into a posture that desires to be right with Him again. And not only that He has given you instruction of how to surrender even more to Him (through your finances).
I have been on such a long journey of learning to submit and offer my finances to Him in abundance and I am still learning. But what I have learnt is 1. If the spirit prompts we should not ignore, often He sees the freedom on the other side that you cannot see. 2. You can only have one master and money is a horrible master.
Bit by bit, step by step, as the spirit leads. Just be sure to respond.
Thank you for this. I was talking to a church family members yesterday saying we always see the worst in life but there is some good in there. You words are proof of that. Thank you Anna
You are so welcome Sarah :) I am being so convicted recently about how quickly and easily we get too big for our boots, we are meant to be vessels. Yes, children, yes royalty, yes heirs but still vessels for the King. 👑
Anka 🧡 wow what a beautiful encouragement 🥹 Praise God for His spirit that works in us and through us, and for this gift that He has given to me to share x
This article speaks about somethings I been struggling to comes to grips with my whole life almost, I was so convicted by it that I forgot to actually say thank you lol. God Word is good and ultimately for our good, I hadn't always been receptive to it but I just wanted to say thank you Anna it's posts like this that helps me to breathe and live easier with lesser weight.

“Are we freely surrendered to the role of ‘vessel’?” So good and convicting. Thanks for sharing, Anna.

Amen! So good.
Some times my soul needs chicken soup; some times my soul needs humble pie. Somehow Anna, you serve what my soul hungers for. Thank you.
Humbled indeed. And deep in my heart something shifted and sighed. What a gift you are.
